I have to say I completely agree with Robin here. Stunning prey should not be necessary for two reasons. One is the one Robin stated and I would add that if your snake is unable to handle live prey safely and efficiently, it certainly should not be offered prey that is in any way still living and should be offered only p/k or f/t prey. Also I would add that stunning a living prey item is for me inhumane to that prey item and causes it needless and unnecessary suffering.
